This weekend should have been a Reading Festival weekend. Covid-19 has, of course, put paid to that. But let's see if I can do my bit to bring a bit of the festival back to the August bank holiday.

In this podcast, I take a look back to Reading 2000, my first festival experience. Stay tuned for glimpses of Pulp, Elliott Smith, Ben & Jason and Clinic.

Welcome to episode two of Songs in the Key of..., a podcast about songs.

Like last week, this week's episode focuses on songs and pieces of music that have been burrowing deep into my ears over the last seven days. Again, there are ten tracks on the playlist covering everything from Northern Soul to Icelandic post-punk by way of Tucsonian ballads and experimental weirdness.

If you like what you've heard, have a listen to the songs in their complete form on this Spotify playlist.

Welcome to episode one of Songs in the Key of..., a podcast about songs.

This episode focuses on songs that have been taking up much needed space in my brain over the last seven days.

There are ten songs from a variety of genres: primitive electronica, 90s indie, a song from the heart of the Civil Rights movement, blues and chilled out Italiana.

The opening music is 'Plasticity' by Blue Dot Sessions, available via a Creative Commons licence.
